Global Optical Sorter Market is valued approximately at USD 1.8 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 10.2% over the forecast period 2020-2027. Optical sorting relies on cameras and sensors to sort grains, plastics, solid products. The driving factors can be attributed to Automation that has enabled manufacturers to reduce errors and work efficiently and thus increasing productivity. With the help of optical sorters manufacturers will be able to speed up the process, maintain hygiene and remove human error. In addition to this, enhanced software features can empower the sensors to sort objects based on color and shape thus, boosting the market for optical sorter. Recent developments in technologies and software systems have enabled optical sorters to influence the yield and product quality. As of October 2020, Key Technology (US) announced VERYX BioPrint digital sorter. This sorter can combine near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral detection with color cameras. Furthermore, it evaluates a richer set of data about the products it is sorting to enhance detection performance and escalate process yield. However, these equipment are sold at a premium price therefore making it inaccessible for some of the manufacturers.

The regional analysis of global Optical Sorter market is considered for the key regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America is the leading/significant region across the world in terms of market share owing to the increased disposable income and the rise in the market for packed food and other goods. Whereas Asia-Pacific is also anticipated to exhibit highest growth rate / CAGR over the forecast period 2020-2027. The main factor is the need for automation to increase productivity and quality thus, there would be lucrative growth prospects for the Optical Sorter market across Asia-Pacific region.
